Fractured thumb ? is it to late to set it ?

Question

i think i fractured the first knuckle in my thumb 2 weeks ago.....its still swollen and has a constant throb..sometimes if i bend it a certain way the pain is unbelievable...is it to late to get it checked out ?

Answer 1

Get it checked out , go to out patients and ask for a x-ray . I fractured mine and chipped the bone  6 weeks ago and glad I went to my local hospital , had a cast on for 6 weeks and now I have a splint on for 4 more weeks . Its a long job and still  painful . It could leave you with arthritis later in life if not sorted out . Its never too late to go , Its better to find out if its fractured or not . Don't waste time ,GO.

Answer 2

It's never too late to seek medical attention

Go see a Doctor ASAP for treatment (dummy)

Answer 3

no if anything u should go and get it checked out right away considering the injury happened 2 weeks ago normally doctors would say rest it but if the pain persists in a week or two then come back. go and get it checked out

Answer 4

You think it is fractured but you cannot set a fractured joint , it has to be broken to set it.

Bandage the thumb to keep it immobile and see your doctor
